A survey made recently. at the lgh school revealed the interesting fact that only 35 per cent of our students are preparing to enter professions, e. g. teaching, law or medicine, while 65 per cent Intend to follow industrial vocations, the leading ones chosen being business mechanics, agriculture.

We have now in our midst those who have an incomplete educational equipment for life, some possibly because they have never fitted in to our present system, some to whom the advantage never came. Think of what these schools would do for them. Think of the future returns in Industrial efficiency. The parents will have in their ban d,s a questionnaire, built by Mr. Atkin, principal of the high school, asking what training and activities they would like to. see provided for their children, also what the high school can do to help them realize their plans for their children. We ask your careful consldera--1 tlon of this matter to help the principal and faculty build a curriculum that will fit the needs of every student A problem confronting the parents of today is the leisure time employment of their boys and girls. There can be only ope solution to this great problem activity and direction, but never suppression. We must provide activity, we must direct it and supervise it What shall be that activity and how can it be provided, is a great problem. Why cannot our high school gymnasium be equipped, our auditorium be complete and used every night of the week, making it the social center for the community? If music, drama, oratory, debate, athletics are provided, they will be welcomed iby students and citizens just as enthusiastically as the projects suggested Finishing the auditorium.

In conclusion, let me tell you our dream: This whole block a high school campus, with a vocational school, an equipped gymnasium, an auditorium, making it adequate possible for every student to get that training that will enable him to make a success in life. !
